World Series

World Series Let Down

This years World Series is one that a lot of people were definitely going to tune into.  Everyone was extremely excited about the teams that were supposed to make it all the way this year, and everyone in the country was anticipating the excitement that would come with the controversy surrounding the series.

Now I feel like everyone will find something better to do while the games are on.  That’s because the L.A. Dodgers lost and the Boston Red Sox are on the verge of losing.  I know the Sox aren’t out of it yet but seriously if they come back and win this thing when they were down 7 runs with 7 outs left in their postseason, well that will be stupid.  I will call the Tampa Rays the biggest chump team of all time and I will lose faith in the small market teams being able to compete against the big boys regardless of their regular season record.  Anyway the reason the series won’t be as good is because everyone wanted to see a Red Sox vs. Dodgers match up.  We definitely won’t get that now that the Phillies (whom I think would never have come close to where they are without Cole Hamels) and the Rays are basically getting ready to play each other.

Could there be a more boring Series than this.  Yea I guess it’s exciting that the Rays are an expansion team and they have made their team good the old fashion way, which is through their farms system.  But let’s be fair. Who in this country has really been a die hard Rays fan throughout their life.  It’s tough to say you have been because they’ve only been around since the mid 90’s.  The Phillies, well a lot of people love them and are die hards but I think those people are idiots because the Phillies are garbage for the main reason that I always get garbage for being a Yankees fan.  Everyone always says Yanks fans are two-faced because some people kill A-Rod when he struggles.  Yet I watched several Phillies games this year and it’s amazing how many times last years MVP, who doesn’t make even close to the money that A-Rod makes, SS Jimmy Rollins got booed when he was struggling.  Granted he was doing awful but this guy is a Philly.  He has made that team good for years, where as the Yankees were better off in a championship sense without A-Rod.  It also doesn’t help Phils fans that I hate the Eagles but oh well for them.

Basically though I just think it’s a disappointment that we won’t get to see a Torre vs. the Sox match up one more time.  It also would have been great to see Manny return home to Boston, because it would have been wildly entertaining.  Every baseball fan in the country would have watched that Series no matter who their favorite team was because there was some kind of entertainment or story for everyone.  I like the Rays but I have to be honest and I have to say I can’t promise I’m going to watch any World Series games this year.
